I did the transmuter bronze by regen fighting with lemisi and apheelsich (using potions to jump start when spirit sword activated). I suppose there are better ways.

But silver seems to be bugged and I'm to tired to try to figure it out now. I was able to fight lvl1 monsters, but all other monsters were set to "talk" and the tooltip told me to "rechannel mystical energy". I tried activating spirit sword by converting stuff (and by pure lemisi spam) and it didn't make the invulnerable status go away. Hints from anyone able to figure it out appriciated...

One thing I though of regarding the Transmuter. If you hold items over the conversion button you can see how many CP you're awarded (or well, atleast how much the bar will raise). The transmuter also gains CP through glyph usage, what if mousing over a glyph will display the given CP in the bar? Should make it easier to understand for people not used to transmuter.

"Which farm animal is featured prominently in Desktop Dungeons?" "Snakes"

Also, I managed the transmuter gold on my 3-4 try and it was tough. Well, the 3-4 try was my first time of trying out simply popcorn bowling lvl1 monsters with wonnafyt and going Taurog from then on ignoring all the glyph use except fireballing. Trisword pulled me through, and if it weren't for witchalok pendant + burning I wouldn't've been able to kill the bugger. Tough map.

As for the tinker - well, I'm glad there's a subdungeon in the gold challenge now. Something to do with transmutation seals and a subdungeon scouting showcase. However, it does little to reduce randomness which is what we noticed was a bit jarring concerning the questline. The gold subdungeon is quite a dud, and glenrick is a complete win. (There ought to be some tok on the forums about the subdungeons in general, most likely). I'm glad the subdungeon was added, but having the boss start out in his own subdungeon so you can scout him would be a blessing...
